The Use of HMAC-SHA-1-96 within ESP and AH
The ESP DES-CBC Cipher Algorithm With Explicit IV
IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
The Internet IP Security Domain of Interpretation for ISAKMP
Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)
The Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
The NULL Encryption Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec
In the same action, the IESG also approved publication of the
following Internet-Drafts as Informational RFCs:

Roadmap
The OAKLEY Key Determination Protocol
Steve to send announcement after confirming the RFC Editor note for

prior to its advancement to Draft Standard.
3. The IESG tentatively approved publication of the following Internet-

All three are to be announced as a set.
7. The following were previously approved but waiting for IPSEC to pass:
o IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp) [PROPOSED]
o IP Payload Compression Using DEFLATE [INFORMATIONAL]
o IP Payload Compression Using LZS [INFORMATIONAL]
When the IPSEC Protocol Action announcement is sent, Steve to send
